ALBANY, N.Y. — The Albany Parking Authority has announced a parking meter holiday for Christmas and New Year's Day.

All multi-space meters in downtown Albany will be programmed to notify drivers that parking is free so they may enjoy their holiday. Single space meters are also free for both holidays.

“It is important to celebrate
family and community during the holidays,” said Michael Klein, Executive
Director of the Albany Parking Authority. “Families come to downtown Albany
around the holidays for the entertainment and dining, and we want them to know
that free parking is available.”
